    17th birthday help

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Help! I'm hopeless when it comes to celebrating special occasions. I'm just not really into that. But today is SilverDaughter's 17th Birthday.

    She's just getting cash. she already got the belly button pierced (that's what she asked for) We are not celebrating til Mr. gets home tomorrow, but she doesn't want to go out to eat or have a special meal cooked.

    So trying to think of something fun......Should I saran wrap her car while she's at school. Go paint words on the windows, tie balloons to it?

    I don't have much time, but will have about an hour around lunchtime, hopefully.

    help!!!

    It is your duty as a parent to embarrass your daughter.

    Definitely write on her car and tie balloons to it. Saran wrapping it sounds like a lot of work

    Or, you could have balloons/flowers delivered to her at school. That's always fun.

    Well I was gonna fill it with balloons but I got tired of blowing them up. This is 6 rolls of saran wrap. Actually the walmart brand worked best. Didn't take too long either. (I stuck a pair of scissors in for her to cut it off. still a mom)

    What do kids use for their art classes if no scissors?

    That is a great idea!! In my former life as a Lowe's employee we were known to shrink wrap cars on someone's last day. Of course there were a few people who got shrink wrapped themselves.

    Great job Silver!!
